		After 1980 it is the Town Hall who is in charge of organising and promoting the festival, so every year the quantity of tons of tomatoes rise as well as the number of participants from all over the world.
		Despite the great number of people, the festival does not involve danger and every year la "tomatina" is a success without any incidents.
